Would appreciate your opinion

I'm still waiting to see an ent. I've had bouts of vertigo and being off balance for over two years now.

I had a drop attack with really loud ringing in my ears want deaf and spun out into the floor. It lasted half an hour then I fell asleep. A month later I had another attack of severe dizziness but no drop attack.

I was originally told it was labrynthitus with nystygmus. And told to go back to my gp if it hadnt gone around the 8 week mark. I did this and couldn't see the same gp and ended up being told it was anxiety and to take antidepressants. I did but it didn't stop till a total of 8 months. So no specialist help.

Dizziness/vertigo stayed away till five months later another go made a referral to get checked for ms. Had the check with Neuro in January but by this time the dizziness had gone. No sign of ms in mri.

No dizziness etc again till July this year. Had another 24 hours ish of severe spinning ear ringing hardly being able to sit up never mind stand. This calmed down but has left me constantly off balance now. Going in supermarkets and other large well lit shops is a nightmare. The dark sets it off too. Sounds that are high pitched hurt my ears sometimes. Im off balance all the time but had another bout of severe vertigo last night which ladted a few hours till my anti dizziness pills help settle it a little. Ive had on off ear fullness and tinnitus is getting more frequent.

I've had my hearing checked and my left has lost some lower tones and my right is ok but I mainly get tinnitus in my right ear but sometimes both especially with a severe attack.

My gp says bppv.

Any opinion would be great ?
